Staff wasn't firendly but wasn't friendly either. Not a hostel to meet people (they have a bar basically inside the hostel)

Hi,
We are really sorry that you didn't find the staff friendly, we usually always have great staff reviews and they always try their very best to make friends with our guests. if you would like to email us with more information we will look into it for you. We have a chill out room which many of our guests use to meet other travelers such as yourself, we hope this does not put you off staying with us in the future
Happy and safe travels

I stayed here for 1 night and was really glad i chose St Christopher's. It was really great value for money and the free breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice, you could even upgrade to a cooked breakfast for a small charge! I was amazed that they didn't charge for use of laundry machines which is great for backpackers. IThe bar downstairs was very cool and the staff were really friendly! I was sad that i was only able to spend one night here but will come back again, for sure.

Hi,
We really appreciate you taking the time to review us. So happy that you really enjoyed your time with us! We think we offer a great service for travelers and our amazing free breakfast always gets the thumbs up. We know how difficult it is when you are traveling so offering free laundry is the least we can do

It's far from the center but you can arrive there with one bus or in subway. The room was ok and it had private bathroom. I disliked that I didn't have my own room key and I had always to wait for some one of the staff to open my room and the breakfast wasn't so good.

Hi,
Firstly we would like to make apologies about the room key, we had some real issues with our system for few days and we did everything we could to minimize the trouble to our guests, unfortunately it was out of our control. It is all back up and running again and we sorted it as soon as we possibly could. Apologies you didn't find our breakfast to your satisfaction, most of our guests enjoy the wide selection we offer but we understand not everyone enjoys continental.

Great value for money, even though it's above a pub, I couldn't really hear the music, however it is central London so the roads and underground can be loud up until 11ish, something I had to get used to but you can't complain for the price. Breakfast is very basic but it will get you started for the day. Definitely great for a short stay, worth the money!

Hi there,
We really appreciate your review and are grateful you took the time to leave us one. Glad you enjoyed your time with us. We try to offer our guests the best free breakfast and we always have a good selection. If you can think of anything that we could have added please feel free to email us your thoughts

It was so dirty - Ive never ever see a hostel dirty like this one. I rather used public toilettes than those in the hostel. Simply disgusting. It smelled in the floor and rooms and there was in the toilette as well - and this just after a guy walked through it to clean it. I wondered what he actually did there cause obviously he wasnt cleaning a thing!

hey there,
Thank you for taking the time for leaving us a review.
We apologise about the cleanliness, our housekeeping clean rooms and bathrooms every day. 3 weeks ago we painted all ceilings in bathrooms. In short time we are doing also renovation works in bathrooms.
We hope this does not put you off staying with us in the future

Thanks very much, one of the best hostel than I ever been but just to help to improve your service:
You have to clean the public toilet bins more often, I been in two of toilets on the corridor and both had the toilet litter full.
Didn't look very nice but I think was just after a busy day!
Anyway was a very nice experience, I will recommend sure!

When I arrived there was only one girl of the staff on all the hostel, and she was serving in the hostel's pub, apparently, the pub's clients are more important than the hostel's guest.
The location is really far to the center, however there are a lot of party around the hostel during night.
Really noisy at night, it isn't good election if you want sleep.

I and my boyfriend stayed in a 6 bed dormitory with bathroom. The room was good, but it has only a shower, the toilet is outside the room and you have to share it with other rooms. The shower isn't very good, you have to press a buttom to water flows and you cannot control the temperature. I didn''t have any problems with noise of the pub that, by the way, it is nice and cheap. The staff is very helpful and nice. It is a good hostel, but it needs some improvements.

It is very well run hostel and kept clean and secure. The bed was also comfortable and the breakfast was a nice bonus. . The only restriction was 1 shower and wc in the room which was restrictive. I think there should be a larger space for chilling out in a quiet space. However I do recognize that space is at a premium in Camden and it would be difficult to extend

The location is just perfect, I love Camden. It's a good area to be at, plus the metro station is 3-5 mins from the hostel. Now, the service and facilities leave much to be desired (at least, for the price you're charged for). I had booked a few nights there but when I arrived I was told I needed to change rooms and pay for a locker because I had to check out to switch rooms. Very moody, unkind and unhelpful staff at the front specially a blonde girl whose English was difficult to understand :(

This was a brilliant hostel, great value for the money. The hostel is attached to a pub, which is very lively in its own right. Hostel customers get deals on drink and food. The hostel was safe - bring a padlock and you can lock your stuff in a cage under your bed. Really hip and trendy area of London. Very convenient for Camden Market and Horse Tunnel Market.

Very friendly staff. Lively bar down stairs.
FREE laundry facilities downstairs including iron and ironing board! Great location just a two minute walk from Mornington Crescent Tube station.
Cheap - well it was when I went. Plenty of entertainment on site and advice in order to enjoy all that London has to offer.

This is my favourite hostel in London at the moment. The room was nice- and the bar is very cool. The chill out room is quite small, so if you don't fancy spending time in the bar it's quite limiting- still, a great hostel in a great location.
